A smaller cylindrical portion having a clamp groove formed on an outer
peripheral surface thereof has a cylindrical surface portion which
extends straight in an axial direction, an inclined surface portion which
extends, while being inclined, radially outwardly from an end portion of
the cylindrical surface portion and a vertical wall surface portion which
extends straight radially outwardly from an end portion of the inclined
surface portion, the cylindrical surface portion, the inclined surface
portion and the vertical wall surface portion being formed continuously
sequentially in that order from a side wall surface of the clamp groove.
A stress concentration on a specific location on the smaller cylindrical
portion can be suppressed by virtue of the stress alleviating action of
these cylindrical surface portion, the inclined surface portion and the
vertical wall surface portion.
